The geometric dimensions of the TV and bracket
Manufacturers make brackets for TVs of any size. The dimension parameter can be assigned to the range of the mounting device. All the difference is only in the distance between the holes on which the TV hangs safely and.
Important! There are standards for the location of the holes that the bracket must match. Modern LCD and plasma televisions fit the VESA standard.
The standard itself can be classified into three categories that differ in the distance between the holes.
- 12-22.9 inches.

Such adjustments should be enough to set the TV to the desired position.

What are the constructions made of?
There isn’t much to recommend, because almost all models of brackets are made of plastic or metal, or from everything at once. But do not worry about durability, because the manufacturer “answers with his head” for his products, and all designs pass hundreds of tests before release.

Now you’ll learn how to install a TV bracket.
Instructions for installing the device
Take for example the swivel-and-tilt TV bracket from Samsung manufacturer with a diagonal of 32 inches. The installation process for different TV models is not much different from each other, so this example is perfect. As a fastener, we take the holder's model - LCDS-5037 of the VESA standard with parameters 200x100, 200x200.
The brackets consist of two components: a base, which is mounted on the wall and a mating part, which connects to the back of the TV. The installation itself is as follows:
- Select an installation location.
- Once selected, mark on the wall to make the installation perfect. A kit with holes is very often included in the kit, along which you can draw markings on the wall.
- Now we turn the base of the structure to the wall. If your wall is made of foam blocks or drywall, you just need to screw one screw into each hole. Brick, concrete or cement walls require preliminary marking for holes. For such cases, a powerful impact drill is taken, which, according to the marking, needs to drill holes. The length of the holes should be slightly larger than the size of the dowel.
- Now we insert the dowels, we attach the base to the wall and with the help of a screwdriver we screw in pre-prepared screws.
Important! If the length of the holes should be longer than that of the dowel, then with a diameter the opposite is true. It must not exceed the diameter of the dowel so that the fastening is of high quality and the bracket is stable.
- If you have fixed the structure, then we take the pads from the kit, “string” them into the grooves until a characteristic click is heard.
- It remains to attach the counterpart of the bracket to the rear wall of the plasma. Do not forget to remove the foot of the TV!
On this installation is completed! We connect the TV with wires and enjoy watching. And so that you can perform the settings quickly and easily, use our instructions:
